Recycling of value-added products from spent lithium-ion batteries for oxygen reduction and methanol oxidation reactions

Keyru Serbara Bejigo et al.

Summary: Environmentally friendly technology for recycling spent lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrodes was developed to explore the efficiency of regenerated electrocatalysts for electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The process involved lixiviation of LixCoO2 electrodes using tartaric acid and H2O2, conversion of graphite into graphene oxide (GO), and regeneration of cobalt oxide-supported reduced graphene oxide (Co3O4/rGO). The regenerated composite material exhibited good activity for ORR and MOR, indicating the potential utilization of end-of-life LIBs as high-performance electrocatalysts in energy conversion devices.

Performance investigation of alkaline direct methanol fuel cell with commercial PGM-free cathodic materials

Carmelo Lo Vecchio et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the performance of alkaline direct methanol fuel cells (ADMFCs) with commercial materials and establish a reference for comparing newly developed materials. Fe-N-C catalysts, Fumasep (FAA-3-50) based AEMs, and FAA3 based AEIs were used, and parameters such as operating temperature and methanol concentration were optimized. Electrochemical measurements showed that the best performance was achieved with 5 M methanol at 60 degrees C, demonstrating a remarkable power density of 48.2 mW cm-2. This work provides insights for the large-scale application of ADMFC with commercial PGM-free materials.

Summary: The recycling of electrode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) focuses on the recovery of transition metals for the production of new batteries or catalysts. Hydrometallurgical processes are more commonly used than pyrometallurgical processes for the recovery of transition metal oxides, which have a significant impact on catalysis applications. Additionally, the synthesis of transition metal based compounds should be developed to enhance their photo-electro-catalytic activities.
